Hello, I have problem with permission wirte sdcard. I fixed permission with folder mount and mounted folders games,viber,whatsapps. When I reboot phone in first 10 minutes working ok but after not working yet. Stock camera can't take photos on sdcard without restart phone and same first 10 minutes working and again problem. What cause this problem, how to fix ? I using xiaomi eu miui 6.5.19.
If you have root - try NextApp SDFix - solve all problems for me with read/write.
Thanks for reply, nextapp only show "No action required" device appear have write access to sdcard. But wirte on sdcard after 10 minutes booting phone not working. First 10 minutes working perfect.

I got some problems with the write permissions on my sd card. From time to time my permisiions switches to R/O, although Root explorer doesnt show it. I need to switch to R/O and then back to regain write permissions. If i dont do that i cannot write or delete any file from sd card and i get the "Error deleting file" message. This recently happened afther playing Assassins Creed and the game could not save data. But the situation occured a few weeks ago when the game was not installed and did not know the R/O switch trick, so i had to format the card and do a clean flash.
I dont have long named files on the card (the kind that cannot be deleted by windows OS). All the files that innitialy could be deleted and/or moved become read only, like the sd card gets locked or something, and the only way to unlock it is the way described above.
Writing permissions on sd card are also not modified in Root explorer.
Any idea why this happens? I looked around and find others with the same problem but no solutions.
My card is a 16 Gb class 4 Kingston.
Also, it seems that the error occurs while connected to usb, and removing write potect using Root explorer doesnt work until disconnected.
Today I found - after trying to make a foto - that my SDCard doesn't seem to be not accessibl anymore - at least the cam app says this. After some ivestigation I found out that the SD is still accessible but all files and folders are in read-only mode. I checked the perms with ESFileExplorer and found no hint why (775 was set correctly) however the properties dialog of differnt file managers always says read-only. I tried to access, remove and create files/folders via pc o that card (format FAT32) w/o any problems. So I made a backup and format the card within the phone and what shall I say - it seems to work again.
Does anybody have an idea what this may have caused?

Thanks a lot!!!
BTW: I used the search function already but I did not find an explainantion which matches fully to my problem
Possibly found a reason
Hm, may have found 2 possible reasons for that behaviour:
- SolidExplorer (strange behviour as after start of it a lot of files partly w/o filname (only . or @ or y) are displayed, partly not visible in other file managers and after some time I can't delete/change no file on that card anymore)
- Too high value vor SDBooster (used 1024 now reduced to 512) - but for my understanding this should not be the reason as it was working for a long time w/o problems.
Will investigate later and will inform about the outcome...
Help on this thread please.
Same problem here.. My torrents, my camera, sms backup and restore, titanium backup, everything else specially those i set as daily scheduled activities always end up having unsuccessful results..
The problem can be worked around by unmounting->re-mounting sd-card..... every 5 minutes or so...
HELP!!
format it
Why didn't I think of that in the first place? Geez..
So anyone here who really understands the problem?

I have exactly the same issue as you, at the very beginning, i notice this problem when i was taking photo and said my sdcard is not accessible, it then changes to use internal storage.
Let me list out my symptom and solution:
Symptom:
1. The sdcard looks fine, no special error thrown during android startup.
2. Just after startup, i am able to write file /copy file to the external sdcard
3. After a while, the external sdcard becomes read only. I can view/copy files from sd card, but not write/copy file to the external sdcard.
4. No apps can modify the files in external sdcard
5. By using ADB shell, type mount, and you will notice the /extSdCard is mounted as "ro", which means read only.
Description:
If you have the above symptom, your external sdcard probably have some problems...
When I was checking the mount details on step 5, i noticed that the default options is onerrors=remount-ro , it looks like the external sdcared is remounted as read-only because it has problem on external sdcard....
Solution:
I put the external sdcard to a Windows PC, and run scan disk (right click the drive >"properties" > "tools" > Check Now).
It really find problem on the FAT of the external sd card!!! It fix automatically and my external sd card is working fine now.
In my case, it doesn't need to root or format the sdcard.
Good luck!

Hello
I installed JB 4.1.2. After that there are problems with writing to sd card / phone memory.
Different apps give different error messages. They say that memory is full and suggest to delete something or storage full or unavailable.
Memory is not full there is 10 GB free room.
I connected phone to PC and tried to copy file to SD card and phone memory. It failed without error message in both cases - it just keep copying...
I can delete files from SD card. I can't delete files through PC from phone memory: "Cannot delete filename: The storage is write-protected. Remove the write-protection and try again."
I used SD card in PC with sd card adapter - it worked perfectly.
I tried ROM Manager -> Fix permissions. It gave error message "An error occured while attemting to run privileged commands!"
Can anyone help to fix the problem?
How did you upgrade to jelly bean? If you flashed using a Custom Recovery, then you could boot back into it and look for the Fix Permissions option.
If you used Odin, you could flash a custom recovery and run fix permissions or wait for someone who knows more about this.

Managed to boot into CWM recovery and fix permissions but it didn't help.
Fixing permissions in CWM recovery didn't gave any error messages. ROM Manager -> fix permissions still gives error message.
Seems like some app/process/etc is blocking the sd card.
If I boot up the phone then I can access for example Dropbox files. At some moment (after ca 3 minutes) it fails to retrieve files anymore and sais "storage full or unavailable".
Still looking for help to solve the problem.
Saying "I flashed JB 4.1.2" means absolutely nothing, nada, zip, ziltch. We have MANY roms that are JB 4.1.2. When informing people of what rom/kernel you're using you need to be specific.
In any even it sounds like you have corrupted your internal memory. Try formatting internal sd/emmc in cwm. Once done re-flash rom.
If that doesn't work you will need to find pit file for your specific sgs2 model (which you also failed to mention).
re-flash & wipe.

Hi there,
Have you solve the storage problem? i'm having a similar issue, I can access the internal storage and the SD Card correctly, but some time after powering on (some times as low as one hour, and some times as high as one day) there is a message telling me that I cannot save anything to my internal storage, and from the view in ES Explorer, the write permissions over /sdcard are changed to read-only.
After rebooting the phone I can write again, and then from nowhere the problem appears again.
I've tried reflashing, wiping, removing the SDCard, not installing apps, but the problem continues.
I'm on the Stock JB ROM (XWLS8).
Anybody is seeing something similar?
Thanks!

My solution was wipe and reinstall. So far, so good - it works now.
Hi guys,
My external memory card has all of a sudden become undetectable. Inside root explorer it appears as a file and not a folder. When i try to see its permissions it is set to read only. I changed it to read write but still its not detectable. Moreover it changes to read only on every reboot.
I was on Resurrection Rom v 5.10 so i updated to v5.14 with full wipe. Still the issue remains.
I have searched on google and it appears to be something related to kitkat. I tried a few solutions like running 3rd party media scanners or editing the permission.xml but all in vain
I tried installing other kitkat roms like Neat Rom v5.8 ..now i can see the extSdCard as folder but when i open it its blank...Moreover i can see the permissions set as rwxrwxrwx in root explorer,but if i manually go to set permission for the folder it gives a popup saying "extSdCard permission cannot be set because the file system is read only"
I tried installing stock JB rom via odin but still it didnt help ..
If i try to mount external Sd card from cwm it gives error saying"Can't Mount "
Note: I tried 3 different SD cards and all went undetected where as they were detectable on other phones.
Need help guys.
Attaching few screenshots for better understanding
If you are unable to read the card's data then consider it lost. Connect it to your PC in USB mass storage mode, it should appear as a drive. If you can read the data, take a backup else leave it. Now format your external card using windows.
It should fix the issue for you.
Device : spice dream uno
ROM: CM 12.1
I am running this rom for 1.5+ months but suddenly yesterday I was not able to write anything on SDCARD.
Titanium back show this folder is not writable.
I tried SDFIX app to get this done and it worked but after 30 mins I need to reboot my device to get permission to write files and.
I can not reboot my device every 15-30 mins that's simply infuriating.
I also checked permission.xml and everything's seem to be fine there's media_rw according to this post:
How come this happen that I reboot my device and get write permission and after few mins I am unable to do write anything.
Can someone help me out.
This was not happening before but happened with when I took out my SD card and plug it into PC and deleted some useless files from SD card.
